TUI and the International Socca Federation Announce Landmark Partnership to Bring World-Class Tournaments to Stunning Destinations

The International Socca Federation (ISF) is thrilled to announce a multi-year global partnership with TUI, one of the world’s leading travel and tourism companies. As the title sponsor of ISF’s most prestigious tournaments, TUI will help bring small-sided football to breathtaking destinations, ensuring that players, fans, and families can combine their love for the game with unforgettable travel experiences.

With over one million players in 76 countries, the 5-, 6- and 7-a-side socca community continues to grow, and this partnership will take the sport to the next level. Players, families, and fans can now experience high-energy competition while enjoying world-class holiday experiences.

A Strategic Partnership for the Future

This collaboration marks the next step in TUI’s global sports sponsorship strategy, complementing its involvement in marathons across Europe. TUI will also be represented at twelve annual ISF international tournaments.

“Football unites the world – just like holidays. Socca is the most popular recreational sport worldwide, and now Socca tournaments will bring even more passion and fun to the most beautiful holiday destinations.”

– Sebastian Ebel, CEO TUI Group

“We are very excited about this long-term partnership with TUI, as the company stands for shared experiences just as much as the International Socca Federation does. Together, we can strengthen our existing structures and create new tournament offerings in the most beautiful places in the world. It’s a journey we are very much looking forward to.”
